The Hot Summer Reads #anthology @freya_lange #RLFblog #Erotic
This quick interview includes info about the author, and
introduces the story.About the Author
Freya Lange is a
writer in her early 30s who lives in the Midwest. She has been writing plays,
poems and short stories for years, but started writing romance and erotica in
early 2014. She’s very excited to be able to reach new readers through her
latest book, Hot Summer Reads, an anthology where she not only contributed her
own story, she served as managing editor.Interview with Freya Lange
Why did you write
this book?For me, spring is the time to say “yes” to new things; I couldn’t think
of anything I wanted to do more this spring than write with my friends. We
started with a basic theme of “summer” so we could all write to our own
strengths and interests while still putting out a fun anthology for new readers.
For many of the authors who contributed, they had no experience publishing a
story as an eBook. I saw it as a good way to for some of my friends, who are all
amazing storytellers, to not only reach a new audience for their writing but
also to dip their toes into publishing on Amazon.When I pitched the idea of this
anthology to the authors involved, I wasn’t prepared for the overwhelmingly
enthusiastic reaction. When I step back to see it in context, though, it make
perfect sense. Like kids writing home from summer camp, we’re straining at the
seams to contain all the things we want to tell you about what we’re learning
and getting to do, about all our wonderful new friends and their amazing
talents.What is your favorite
genre to read?I read a wide variety of books and short stories, but
historical fiction is probably my favorite.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?In Hot Summer Reads, it is, without
a doubt, Jesse from “Keys To the Sun,” by Shea Mara. If you’re not in love with
Jesse halfway through that story, something is broken inside of you and
rattling around like a quarter in an empty washing machine.In other books, I never get tired
of reading about John Childermass from Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange &
Mr. Norrell. I love his combination of practical and mysterious.What are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?Look for almost all of the authors
who contributed to Hot Summer Reads to have new stories up on Amazon in May and
June. If you really love a story and want more from the author, please, let
them know! We’re all very responsive to our fans.From me, personally, readers can
catch a new story from me every Monday. I call them Little Black Dresses
because they’re short, hot, and perfect for the right occasion. Every month I
pick a different theme to write about so I can keep my imagination fresh and respond
to what readers tell me they want to see. I’m also working on some longer books
for readers who like their paranormal heroines to be more in charge of their
own destinies – look for the first book of the Alphas’ Omega series later this
month.Please tell us about
your latest book.The Hot Summer Reads

everyone, no matter what you like in erotic romance stories. You may even find

The Mythologically Torqued Collection @LeighEllwood #RLFblog #LGBT
Leigh Ellwood co-author of Mythologically Torqued answers five
easy questions to help readers get to know her better.Author Bio
Leigh Ellwood writes erotica and romance, primarily M/M
and F/F pairings. She loves to read and when she isn’t writing she’s on
Twitter, a lot. Feel free to drop her a line at @LeighEllwood.What’s your favorite down-home
family style meal? I confess I never miss a meal. It’s difficult to pin
down one, but if we’re talking about a large family gathering nothing beats
lasagna. I have so many memories of my grandmother’s house, with the extended
family gathered for Sunday dinner. Always a large Italian meal, and once in a
while they’d let me have some diluted wine.Describe the perfect vacation.
Sunny and 72 degrees, a room with a view of the ocean, a bottomless pitcher of
sangria, and a stack of books to read on the balcony.Tell us about your
favorite toy as a child. I still have them! I have a carrying case full of
the original Star Wars action figures from Kenner. They’ve been played with, of
course, and some of the limbs and necks are loose. I have one of each of the
main characters and a few minor people as well. Every once in a while I bring
them out to see if anybody will offer a decent price, but as I’ve had them for
almost 40 years I may hang onto them a while longer.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose? I love historical fiction, especially the
Tudor and Edwardian eras in England, and early 20th century America.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
Well, he owns a boat called Deacon Blues, so naturally that or any other Steely
Dan tune.About the Book
Title Mythologically TorquedGenre LGBT fantasyAuthor Alyx Shaw, Angelique Voisen, Carol Tierney, Delilah
Storm, Eva Lefoy, Jacey Mills, L.J. Hamlin, Leigh Ellwood, Logan Zachary, Max
Wilde, Salome Wilde, Shiloh Saddler, T. Strange, and V.L. LoceyBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RMythology, whether classic or modern, has always taken readers on a
magical ride. Mythologically Torqued, volume I, takes those tales from days of
old, or more recent history, and places a unique spin on the beloved lore.The gods of Olympus make appearances, as do deities from Japanese,
Norse, and other belief systems. With rampant sexual desires, these gods manage
to slake their thirst for passions of the flesh in a rather untraditional
manner…if the oral traditions passed down from generation-to-generation were at
all accurate.These fifteen short stories are penned by both seasoned scribes and new
authors; the anthology provides readers with the perfect opportunity to explore
offerings from their favorite storytellers as well as find a new favorite or
two. And, a unique perspective on the stories we enjoyed—or were forced down
our throats at the hands of a sadistic English teacher or two—in our youth.Buy This Book

forever silenced just like their fallen brothers.Now, two years later, each living member of the group is kidnapped
and given a chance to make things right. But this time they’re no longer under the
thumb of Uncle Sam. A mysterious private backer who knows about their past has brought

Call Me Valentino @jordankrose @authorjamie @oliviagaines #RLFblog
Call Me Valentino The Call Me Valentino anthology brings five authors together
with the same assignment: Write a story about Valentino, who is in his early 30s,
dark hair, blue/gray eyes and his primary objective (or so he thinks) is to find
his baby brother.Well, off we each went to write our Valentino’s story with no
idea of anyone else’s vision of him. We’re thrilled to unveil Valentino set in 5
different worlds. We’re certain there’s at least one Valentino for everyone!The Matron by Kirsten Osbourne
Tino Hayes is a man with a mission. He is so dead-set on finding
his brother that he almost loses the love of his life. It’s a long journey for him
and not just the road he’s traveling with a bus full of fifteen orphans. He grows
in a lot of ways throughout the story and finally is able to settle down with his
dream woman.Valentino “Vin” Jackson from Underdcovers by Jamie Lee Scott
Vin has been on one mission from the time he was first put into
the foster system, find his little brother. As a kid, he couldn’t get any information,
but now he’s an adult, and trying to make up for lost time. He thought the best
way to do this was to get an education and become a member of one of the country’s
most connected crime fighting groups, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.Even though much of his time is spent doing the job he was paid
to do, he spends considerable time outside the job using the FBI’s resources, looking
for ways to track him down. In his single-minded endeavor, he’s forsaken any permanent
relationships. On his nights of prowling, he often finds himself depressed, and
going home with a woman whose name he doesn’t even remember the next day.As Vin ages, now in his third decade, he’s tired of going it
alone, but hasn’t found a woman he’d care to settle down with. Or a woman he’d even
share his story with. Until he’s teamed up with Ellis Boyd. She just may be his
undoing, but in the long run, she also has resources of her own, and a mind that
could help him track his brother down. He needs to know, did little Teto have a
good life? Is he okay? If not, he’ll never forgive himself for letting the adults
separate them.The Brute and The Blogger by Olivia Gaines
Tino Boehner is a self-made man who has worked hard to get everything
he has but he is the type of guy who wants a woman to challenge him. He has that
in Ebony Miller. I wanted to write an interracial story about a man who has lost
something that he is trying to reclaim – an identity. In the process he has a five
year symbiotic relationship with Ebony through her blog that fuels and lights a
fire under him, although they have never officially met in person. When they do
meet, there are more than just sparks in her words on a screen; the ones that come
out of her mouth are equally as powerful. He gives as good as he gets and the banter
between the two is fiery, and clever.The story is sexy as the two dance about each other as she finds
out that there is a whole lot more to Tino Boehner.Tino, through manipulating the circumstance, finds a way to spend
more time with Ebony on a day to day basis and realizes her words have more power
over him than he imagined.I know readers will relate to them both as Ebony finds her true
voice and Tino finds a deeper meaning in what family truly means to him. The Brute
and the Blogger is the intro to a much larger story about the Boehner’s which is
completed in the follow up story A Menu for Loving.Highlander, The Archer by Hildie McQueen
Two ideas at once came to mind when penning Highlander, Valent.
First he was to be rather broken and secondly, why not an archer since this is a
Valentines Day anthology and the whole cupid thing.Valent is a breathtakingly stunning man with more hang-ups than
a walk-in closet. After being abandoned as a child and then continuously mistreated
while growing up by the clan, he has a rather hard time of it. When the laird’s
daughter Ariana falls head over heels in love with him and seduces him, it’s surprising
to see how different he is when in the privacy of the bedroom. The natural born
leader takes charge. I hope readers will relate with this resilient hero and he
earns a piece of their hearts.Valent’s story will continue in two additional parts, which will
be published separately. Highlander – The Archer is the beginning of a new series.The Vampire’s Penance by Jordan K. Rose
When deciding who my Valentino was I knew right away he was a
member of The Vampire Guard, a group driven to protect the residents of Central
City in the aftermath of the Panthera Laboratories fire. I also knew Rafe Valentino
was holding onto something so painful, so horrible that he had shut himself away
from having relationships with anyone other than his brother.In an effort to stop his brother from ending up dead Rafe finds
himself in the weakest position he’s ever experienced, which forces him to let down
his guard and allow someone else to care for him. In spite of his circumstance he
tries to protect those around him, sheltering them from his savageness, this time
by forcing Maddie Van Kool to see the truth of what he’s done.The Vampire’s Penance is Novella 5 in the Romance In Central
City Series.About the Book
